You think that you are going to change the behavior of tens of thousands of voters by bitching about it? If you want to change how they vote, do something about it.

If someone’s still protest voting in this situation, it indicates issues with the candidates rather than the voters.

Kamala’s refusal to address the Israeli Genocide and the fact that she was the second candidate forced on the people by the party in an undemocratic way were the main reasons IMO. She was not a popular candidate in 2020, it was surprising she did as well as she did TBH.

They both may be political necessities for some reason but I believe that’s why the dems lost. Also sadly, I don’t think a black woman had any hope of siphoning off any potential Trump voters.

None of this would have happened if the DNC had allowed Sanders to win in 2016 instead of stealing the primaries with superdelegates. Nobody ever polled better against Trump than Sanders. In 2020 or 2016. But instead of letting him mop the floor with Trump. they fought him tooth and nail and even rigged the primaries against him.

You reap what you sow.

As someone who’s protest voted in a strongly blue state for years and who voted Biden only as a vote against Trump, I can’t say I support protest voting when democracy itself is on the line, but I can understand the motivation behind it.
